me no think me discard 1 bamboo

(i barely know any strategy lol)

bubblingbeebles.bsky.social•13 days ago

it is relllllatively safe since south has 2 bamboo in early discards, making a 1-4 wait less likely than others, but there are better answers in the other replies :)

With 1 more draw (possibly 2 if someone calls a tile), the odds of winning this hand or even getting to tenpai are pretty low. Your 9-bamboos are probably the safest bet. With all four 8-bamboos already out, no one can have a two-sided wait for it, so it would have to be a single wait pair.

East has suspiciously only dropped middle tiles except for a single West. So they might be trying for 13 orphans. The 9-bamboo is still safe for that because you know where all four 1-dots are.

Even if you deal in to North, doesn't look like their hand has much value. 1 han if they have a set of North winds or white dragons? That's basically the same as a noten penalty.

good reasoning all the way... with just one more thing i only realized in retrospect: because it's south 3, the riichi player gets all last deal, and looking at the scores, i think you actually want to deal into north's tanyao rather than let south win this hand and catch up

(in the moment, i forgot about all 4 1p being visible meant the 9s was safe into orphans, and dealt into the tanyao anyway... and if this weren't silver room, i wouldn't rule out a 9s tanki trap wait from south either...)

benstylus.bsky.social•13 days ago

South already discarded a 9-bamboo so it's 100% safe with them.

This late in the round the odds of them winning the hand are pretty slim. A riichi with only a couple of draws left always feels like I'm just throwing away points lol
